Considered Both Products	Wise Arpad Szucs Brand Designer \| UI, UX & Visual Designer Chose Wise Wise has great transfer fees, while Stripe has online payment options. We are using both services since Stripe can be connected to our invoicing platform, and our clients can pay us with a few clicks. Wise, as far as I know, does not offer such integration, and all transfers … Incentivized Helpful? Faisal Ahmed Frontend Web Developer Chose Wise I used all of them and some more like Skrill, Neteller. Wise just worked better for me in most cases. Also, I use Payoneer a lot. When I started freelancing I was only using Payoneer, so it's been with me forever. But Wise worked pretty well for me, at least better than Remitly. Incentivized Helpful? Jenson Teo (赵俊杰） Business Development Director Chose Wise Apple Pay has high fees and hidden charges, not easy to use and it does not really support enterprises. It is also not regulated by MAS so we don't feel safe using it. Transferwise account was easy to set up (within minutes), the admin fee is low and the pricing is very … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Wise Stripe is good and convenient as well. However to setup something more in-depth as an invoicing platform, Stripe definitely is more flexible. The only downside to Stripe is.. It takes a higher transfer fee as compared to TransferWise. Incentivized Helpful? CL Connie Lovato Controller Chose Wise Transferwise is less expensive. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Wise With Revolut, taxes are lower (even for free) for small number of transfers and small amounts. It all depends on the individual needs. However, Revolut is worse with regards to user experience and interface, what is something to consider (specially when dealing with the upload … Incentivized Helpful? ES Elaine Smith Producing Artistic Director Chose Wise We considered PayPal payment, ACH bank transfer, and simply mailing a check. TransferWise's fees were much lower than PayPal and our bank. Postage might have been less than TransferWise's fee, but payment could have taken more than a week rather than hours (or days in the case … Incentivized Helpful? Bhabishya Bhatt Content Writer Chose Wise Payoneer Incentivized Helpful? Jason Rutel Creative Director & Owner Chose Wise TransferWise beats all the competition on transaction rates, and it's easy to use. I literally have found no drawbacks in using TransferWise to pay my overseas contractors, and they prefer it too. I found it because my contractor recommended it to me, and it's better AND … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Wise We have used Xoom and PayPal Payments, but TransferWise works for additional countries and has more transparent fees. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Wise We cannot send to certain locations that we need to, but with TransferWise we can. Incentivized Helpful? Dr Olivier Becherel - Leadership and Executive Coaching Mentor & Coach Chose Wise TransferWise has lower transaction fees A better user interface--much cleaner, and simple to use Very simple and smooth process to transfer and receive money Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Wise TransferWise was the only solution that we've found that will allow us to facilitate ACH payments that result in an overseas deposit. The fact that you can transfer money to TransferWise and that they can then make a local transfer is awesome. The fees are totally worth it with … Incentivized Helpful? Marcelo de Vasconcellos Senior Visual Designer Chose Wise We had used bank transfers for several years, but TransferWise outdoes them in almost all aspects. It leaves out most of the bureaucracy, and it is agile and much cheaper. Also, TransferWise reliably sends messages as each step of the transaction is completed.

Likelihood to Recommend	Transferwise it is great for transferring money across countries (never for transfers within the same country) and when the countries in question use different currencies. It is very quick, especially if the amount is not big. For larger amounts, it would take longer so it would be good only if you are not time-constraint. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Quick - because funds are transferred domestically, even when going international, you don't have to wait long. Easy - the printout of what information I needed to give the sending bank was complete and easy to understand. Affordable - the fees on both ends were minimal. Incentivized Sarah Daggett Systems Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	TransferWise (at the time of this review) does not allow one to transfer money to all kinds of business accounts. This can be a limitation for people who want to use it as a way to pay directly for goods and services. Sometimes it has problems with some credit cards. But the most popular types are accepted without problems. TransferWise accepts fewer currencies than other services. But it seems like this is a temporary problem, and the company is making efforts to support transferences to all of the currencies.

Alternatives Considered	Apple Pay has high fees and hidden charges, not easy to use and it does not really support enterprises. It is also not regulated by MAS so we don't feel safe using it. Transferwise account was easy to set up (within minutes), the admin fee is low and the pricing is very transparent (no hidden fee). Lastly, we needed a platform which is safe to use and we are happy to know that Transferwise is regulated by the MAS of Singapore.
